摘要
This paper used Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array observations to examine the temporal and spectral features of the Be/X-ray binary pulsar MAXI J1409-619. The timing analysis of the light curve finds the pulsation of the source at (501.23 +/- 0.01) s. The pulse profile of the source in various energy bands was analysed and showed weak dependence on energy exhibiting asymmetric character and generally suggests a source accretion in the subcritical regime. The variation of pulse fraction with photon energy in general shows an increasing trend. Assuming a distance of 14.5 kpc, we calculated the 3-30 keV source luminosity to be similar to 6.13 x10(34) ergs(-1). The long-term spin evolution of the source was carried out, where the source underwent torque reversal.
